Christmas 2010 in upstate NY

We celebrated Christmas in upstate NY at my sisters house. The Mom and Dad came up with Angie's family, but we missed Matt's family. That's right 8 adults and 10 children (6 below age 5) all under one roof in snowy upstate NY. It was a crazy and fun time.

Acting out the nativity for Grandma and Grandpa is a family tradition and an amazing experience.

This was one of the best Christmas vacations imaginable. We did it all, but in keeping with the Orton family traditions we forgot our camera, had a dead battery, or forgot to take pictures at most events. We snowmobiled, down hill skied, cross country skied, sledded, threw snow balls, built a snow man, played indoor and outdoor hockey, and ate tons of yummy home cooked food.

Oh and of course we played dress up many times again and again.
Aren't Rebecca and Julie cute!

Where did Ms. Hollywood go?

I think she went that way.
